It's a nice way to dress up your hotdog sandwiches for the little kids.
Probably a take on the burger and fries combo that many burger joints
have been promoting for some time, this one can be a classic afternoon
snack. It's filling, tasty, and cheesy, not to mention pretty enough to
catch the attention of everyone, even those who are just kids at heart.

A trip to the grocery store or supermarket, consumers are faced with a lot of brand options to choose from when buying produce. While most go for the fresh, unprocessed meat products, many still prefer processed foods to save time on preparation and to save themselves from the stress of deciding what to serve for the day. They say that processed meats lack the quality and taste of homemade meals, but Frabelle Corporation begs to differ.

The company, who chose Senator Chiz Escudero for his credibility and reach, has boomed in profits and sales since its first launch in the market last year. Going by the motto, "Sadyang Pinasarap", the company promises that their products are not produced for profit by cutting back on quality as most processed foods have been given that impression.

It instead adheres with old world culinary disciplines, such as naturally smoking meat and blow-torching sugar, combined with state of the art equipment to make their products stand out amidst the multitude of similar products already established in the market. Frabelle Foods meat products not only have the taste of well-prepared foods that your family will surely love, they have affordable prices and consumers gets more than their money's worth.

Some of you may remember the TV commercial featuring the senator, with his line, "Iba ang pinasarap ng pinag-ukulan ng panahon, iba ang preparasyon, mataas ang quality, sadyang pinasarap." With the National Meat Inspection Service granting the company an AAA certification, we can all be assured that Frabelle Foods will definitely hold on to their promise.

Some of the company's featured products are Yummy! Hotdogs and Cheesedogs, Pork Ham Tocino, Honey Ham, Hickory Smoked Bacon, Longganisa Hamonado, Pear Shaped Ham, and Honey Glazed Ham. Here's a quick preview of one of their products that is always welcome in our home, anytime of the day. I also have a review about Frabelle Food's longganisa, tocino, and other products.

Frabelle Longganiza Hamonado:

Frabelle Foods Longganiza Hamonado is made from combination of ground pork and beef blended with the right spices and ingredients which give its sweet, spicy and garlicky taste. The meat blend is reduced to a homogeneous mass called emulsion, stuffed into collagen casings, and then cooked to the required internal temperature.

The finished product has a distinct brown skin color. It is firm and the cooked product has a predominant meaty taste of sausage. It is smoked with 100% natural imported wood chips that give the sausage their natural smoky aroma and flavor.

If you want to have a fun and tasty, no-fuss breakfast, then this western style fried rice perfect for cowboys and cowgirls is definitely worth a try. The Star Ranchero Rice is a one-pot dish that's perfect for breakfast.
It's reminiscent of Mexican spices, Jamaican patties, burritos and the Wild West cartoons I loved watching as a kid.

The dish has a little heat and a load of
flavor that's not too strong for kids to handle. Featured previously on SM Master Chef's Cooking Marathon, I decided to give each recipe another chance at the limelight.

There are times when cheating is not as bad as it sounds, especially when it's your day off and after a long and very tiring week, you just want to lay down and enjoy a warm plate of yummy, gooey snack. Take, for example, the grilled cheese sandwich. Mine's not really grilled, nor is it made of authentic cheddar cheese, so there goes the cheating part. But the best part about cooking and being a pseudo-chef is that you can make the recipes your own. Add a twist, don't follow it to a T, and instead change it so it turns out to be how you want it to be. Same principle applies in life, I guess. :)

There's nothing complicated about grilled cheese. In fact, I bet you know how to make this snack anyway. And since I pretty much want to laze around all day and watch TV, I'm cutting this post early and giving you the recipe for a spicy, juicy, and gooey grilled cheese sandwich, perfect for any time of the day.

Quick and Easy Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients:

bread slices (could be whole wheat, plain, or even flavored!)

butter

grated Quickmelt cheese (or any quick-melting cheese of your choice)

thinly sliced tomatoes

cayenne pepper

dried basil leaves

Simply brush each slice of bread with butter, top with lots of grated cheese. Add in tomatoes, and sprinkle with cayenne pepper, basil, or any herbs and spices of your choice.

Fire up your grill, or in my case, a non-stick skillet, and toast the bread until the cheese melts and until you achieve your preferred level of crisp or burnt on your bread. Devour while still warm and gooey! :)
